Doesn't surprise me lol! I have horses in the field at the bottom of my garden & all the fences are wrecked by the horses "the grass is always greener" attitude

Thank you Amity Charlie says thank you too although he's a bit sleepy at the moment.

What amazing horses, and what beautiful landscape too! I love how hilly it looks

[Hamsterita]

You live in a very beautiful place, and being surrounded by all those animals must be awesome.

All that green reminds me of where I live, Galicia. at least rainy and cold weather has some perks, like beautiful green landscapes, isn't it?

[Pebbles82]

Ah Galicia! I never actually got there when I travelled round Spain a bit, but I heard it talked of with a lot of wonder and fondness as being a beautiful green place I met some people from Galicia and they talked about Galicia as the best place ever! I only got as far as Catlunya, Aragon, Valencia, Madrid and Castille y Leon, plus Seville and Malaga for one or two days. I was there for two months altogether and went back to Barcelona every year to visit friends. It was like my second home Then I met OH who was born here and has never left the country. One day I'll get him on an aeroplane ha ha. My ambition was always to walk the Camino de Santiago - I have a bad foot now so if I did it it might have to be on a quadbike lol.

Yes it's a lovely bit of countryside. We've only moved 7 miles up to the road and were on the edge of a small town before, but still near the same countryside. It's an AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty). A bit foggy on the photos - looks nicer when the sun is out. I'm finding it a bit quiet though And it gets quite exciting now when we go out somewhere and see some life and people. These days I regularly go a bit stir crazy as there's so much work to do indoors sorting the house out and you forget to actually look at the view. To balance it I have a painting in the bathroom (which has no window) that's like a trompe l'oeil of a window overlooking the seaside

There are some rare birds in the area (Lapwings and Corncrakes) they're a bit hard to photograph and it's the wrong time of year really. And the area is famous for the flower the blue Gentian.

Lovely start to the month.
It was interesting reading about Charlie cage upgrades and seeing pictures of the cage to give size comparisons. He looks so sweet in the coconut.
Such lovely photos of the birds of prey - they all look very impressive and fierce. I really enjoyed seeing the pictures again of Charlie in his Hedwig costume.
Love Charlie's big ears he looks so sweet in all those photos he always has such a lovely expressions.
Both of those horses are gorgeous - the grass must be nicer on the other side of the fence.

Day 5 – Dog training

Our neighbour breeds border collies and does dog agility training. She kindly let me take some photos of the dogs training. The brown one is the aunt of the black and white one, who is a puppy. The dogs were faster than my camera speed ha ha, so a bit of action blur!









The other black and white dog (also a puppy) on the right is also related but I can’t remember whether a cousin or whatever

[Thin Lizzy]

Just been catching up and I so love the pics of Charlie and his gorgeous big ears. What a beauty!
You really do live near wonderful views, love horses and those doggies are beautiful.

Also catching up on the thread, I did laugh when I was going through it and came across Charlie in his outfits lol, he looks brilliant and I bet he was a great Hedwig His ears are stunning too. Looks like you live somewhere really lovely Serendipity with lots of wildlife, looks very peaceful too. Must have been fascinating watching the dogs getting their training

Lovely to have horses so close by. Dog training looks interesting. The last dog photo is sharp and a great one!
